CS8 boys basketball: Price, Lanphier sink Jacksonville

Saturday

Reserve guard T.J. Price made the most of his 18 minutes in Lanphier High School’s home game against Jacksonville on Friday night at Lober-Nika Gymnasium.

Price made four 3-pointers and scored a game-high 16 points as the Lions defeated the Crimsons 56-35 in a Central State Eight Conference game.

Lanphier (4-2 overall, 2-1 in the CS8) led 22-8 after one period and 38-17 at the half. The Lions’ biggest lead was by 31 points with 7 minutes 1 second remaining in the fourth period.

Price finished 4-for-7 from the field, including 4 of 6 from 3-point range. He went 4-for-5 from the free throw line. The Lions shot 43.8 percent (21 of 48) from the field while holding the Crimsons to just 23.3 percent (10 of 43) shooting.

AJ Frazier added 13 points and hit three 3s for Lanphier, which finished 10-for-22 beyond the arc. Tye Banks had nine points and six rebounds and Karl Wright came off the bench for the Lions, scoring six points and hauling down eight boards.

Nick Cook was the only player in double figures for Jacksonville, leading the Crimsons (2-5, 0-4) with nine points.

NORMAL U-HIGH 70, ROCHESTER 41: At Normal, the Pioneers opened the game on a 9-0 run, forcing coach David Maciejewski to call three early timeouts to try and stall U-High.

“We got off to a slow start the last two games, so we emphasized getting off to a quick start this week in practice,” U-High coach Andrew McDowell said.

The Pioneers took the attack to the basket, shooting 21 free throws.

“We wanted to get inside…we got into their bodies and were able to finish,” McDowell said.

Alex Wood led the Pioneers with 19 points, including two 3-point field goals. Senior Nate Torres added 15 points, and Drew Wollenschlager also reached double figures with 13.

Lucas McCafferty led the Rockets with 11 points.

Rochester falls to 0-3 overall and in the Central State Eight Conference, while U-High is 4-3 and 2-1.
